Saw a report that Russia is saying the US is flying sorties with them out of Syria...

I don't have any moral objections to punching Nazis.  Nor to punching Commies, I guess.  Sucker punching and running away is a little cowardly, though.

Live to fight another day :)

As for punching Commies, I thought your kind went in for shooting them?

Only when things get escalated.  Hell, in calm times I don't even want to punch them.

In any case, I don't agree with your equating of Commies and Nazis - not in general, but most definitely not in the current political context.

Of course not-- the Commies aren't in power anymore :P

FTFY  :)

I must admit that i find it fascinating that so many can celebrate in people they share opinions with the very thing they bemoan in people with different opinions.

Smashing people in the face because you disagree with them is every bit as much a fascist move when done by leftists as when done by rightists.

And that's why your "it's okay to punch nazis" reasoning falls apart.  There are other groups that are just as deplorable as nazis.  It's very much up for debate who counts as a nazi (Richard Spencer rejects the label).  It quickly becomes "it's okay to punch people you strongly disagree with", which is hardly any way to run a society.
